Hire Gina if you're looking for a positive birth experience! I was the first of my friends to have a Doula and wasn't quite sure what to expect. It ended up being one of the best decisions involving my pregnancy/delivery because she was so supportive and valuable every step of the way.

Gina helped me prepare for giving birth by meeting with me and discussing my fears about labor, how to best support me, strategies for a smooth labor, etc. She was on-call for me and met my family and I at the hospital immediately when we called her (at midnight) when I went into labor.

Gina was so professional with the hospital staff and my family. She provided strategies and aid to keep me comfortable throughout labor and helped me understand what was happening and what to expect next. Yes there were nurses to help, but they had other patients requiring their care and Gina was a constant, knowledgeable, and calm presence.

Gina was also extremely helpful during the delivery and did not leave my side afterward until she knew that I was stable and moving to the postpartum room to rest. She's been so supportive during these postpartum weeks and I'm so grateful to her!

While Gina's support was a service that I paid for, she has genuinely felt like family throughout this experience. She went so above and beyond for me and my baby and made our experience a special one.

Gina/Atala Doula Services is the best! She helped us prepare for labor with thoughtful consideration to the needs of my partner and me. She was so supportive and aware to help advocate for sticking to my birth plan while I was in labor and directly afterwards! Postpartum Gina has been a great resource and incredible support to us. For anyone looking for prenatal support, labor support, and/or postpartum support I could not recommend Atala Doula Services more!

My husband and I are first time parents who were very anxious about labor and delivery and therefore were looking for a doula who could offer additional support to help keep us calm and informed with what was completely normal versus not and offer labor support and coping strategies. We found Gina and were very impressed by the wealth of information she had in her website.

 


When we spoke with her about what we were looking for in a doula, we appreciated her supportive perspective in informed decision making. She helped us understand the pros and cons of each decision for our birth plan and allowed us to decide independently without pushing her opinions or “shoulding” (i.e. you should do this not this) in terms of what our birth should say or be.

 


During labor, Gina was very helpful with labor support strategies, she helped me get through the worst of the contractions with encouragement, a TENS machine, creating a calm environment, and physical touch such as sacral squeezes. She was incredibly prepared and had everything she needed to support me through a days long labor (which thankfully was not needed in my case). She also helped support my decision for an epidural when I couldn’t cope anymore with contractions and made sure I was changing positions frequently to keep labor progressing.

 


I really feel Gina helped make my labor a positive experience and appreciated her support when changing my mind and making deviations from my initial birth plan, such as my decision to move forward with an induction when I passed my due date due and getting an epidural during labor when both of those were not on my initial birth plan. I would recommend Gina to anyone seeking a supportive doula, she is very dedicated to making sure you have the birth YOU want.
